Chapter XL
It is not all in all sufficient to be wicked in order to prosper. The cook-shop was in a bad way. Thanks to the traveller’s fifty-seven francs, Thénardier had been able to avoid a protest and to honor his signature. On the following month they were again in need of money. The woman took Cosette’s outfit to Paris, and pawned it at the pawnbroker’s for sixty francs.
